Version: Windchill 12.0
Use Case: I have a task assigned to a role/group (Data Manager) where any user can complete it, and then later tasks in the workflow are assigned to the specific user (Assignee) that completed the earlier task... they took responsibility at the first and will now have to follow through.
Description:
I cannot find a java link between the wt.workflow.work.WfAssignedActivity (the "self" object in the workflow script) and the user completing it. Currently I am using the wt.session.SessionHelper.manager.getPrincipal() for the task assigned to the Data Manager role and assigning that to the Assignee role for the future tasks (generally this works). But in the case of a temporary calendar designation (or a quick test where I blast through the tasks as an admin), the Assignee becomes the actual user that did the task rather than the true user that was assigned it.
i.e. Andy, Bob, and Carl all get Task 1 and whoever completes it is the sole assignee for Task 2. But if Bob delegates to Dave for a day and Dave does that task, then Task 2 gets assigned to Dave and not Bob. Can I find out that Bob was the original assignee for Task 1?
Unfortunately this is using the Windchill classes with the incomplete documentation and I haven't been able to search out a solution.
